What solution do you propose?

Golang lint is a fast Go linters runner. It runs linters in parallel, uses caching, supports yaml config. It’s used to make sure code adheres to common Go practices. It supports enable many different types of linters.

I think we can introduce it to Notation to enable static code formatting scanning in each pull request.

What alternatives have you considered?

Updates:

• Research the https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint-action official GitHub action for golangci-lint
• Add golangci-lint-action to the CI workflows as it's the official GitHub action for golangci-lint from its authors. The action runs golangci-lint and reports issues from linters.
• Name the new workflow as golangci-lint-action in .github/workflows/go-lint.yml
• Current behaviour:
  • Run golangci-lint on every PR
  • Report only new issue generated from the PR (by using only-new-issues: true option from golangci-lint-action)
  • Beside of PR events, there has an option in the trigger event to allow us manually run the workflow if needed (workflow_dispatch:)

Created new PR #723 for this task.
